See who we think will win in Merry Old England this weekend.

UFC London comes to us this weekend from the O2 Arena and… it’s a pretty a good card. Feels good to say that.

Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady is a great fight. Both men have only lost to Belal Muhammad in recent times and both men could get a lot closer to fighting him again with a win on Saturday.

The co-main has the return of Polish Power Jan Blachowicz. He’s matched up with the streaking Carlos Ulberg. That fight might generate our next title challenger at Light Heavyweight.

We’ve also got Gunnar Nelson vs. Kevin Holland. That’s a wild match-up. Rounding out the main card is Molly McCann vs. Alexia Thainara, Jordan Vucenic vs. Chris Duncan and Nathaniel Wood vs. Morgan Charriere (that one could be really good).

There’s a couple of names on the prelims, too, including Marcin Tybura, Christian Leroy Duncan and Jai Herbert.

This card is also great because it starts at 1 p.m. ET!

Leon Edwards (+135) vs. Sean Brady (-160)

Miguel Class: Leon is simultaneously one of the most skilled and one of the biggest headcases in MMA. Were he to fight every fight like he did in the third fight with Usman, he’d still be one of the pound-for-pound greats. Instead, we have to sit here and wonder whether he’ll be pathologically unable to keep his back off the fence and therefore expose himself to getting held down by Sean Brady. Notwithstanding the possibility that Leon does something silly like try to outwrestle Brady, I think this is a more favorable matchup for him than Belal was…
